Tripadvisor launched (24-Jun-2020) a new suite of "Travel Safe" tools to help consumers find, filter for, and validate health and safety information to feel more confident with their future travel choices across town and around the world. Travel Safe features are available in all 49 markets where Tripadvisor operates, and more than 13,850 properties have already activated the feature set. Features for travellers include:
- Health & safety checklists, allowing hotel and restaurant owners to share safety measures directly on their Tripadvisor listing;
- A new search filter allows users to easily find which hotels and restaurants are taking these added safety precautions;
- New traveller review submission form prompts allow users to validate safety measures and share their experiences with other travellers;
- Q&A with business owners, allowing users to directly message business owners about their safety measures (or anything else);
Features for owners include:
- Businesses can now select safety measures they have in place at their property by accessing the checklist in their Tripadvisor management centre;
- Checklist also enables properties to submit a text description of the steps they are taking to protect customers, including links back to safety information on their own websites. [more - original PR]
